Gym Refurbishment

We're delighted to announce that the major Ballysillan Gym and Reception Refurbishment project is complete. This significant £130,000 investment was completed in just four weeks and marks a huge upgrade to the centre, dramatically enhancing both our fitness offer and your overall visit. The biggest change is the all-new, expanded Gym Area. By removing a dividing wall, we have successfully doubled the footprint of our previous fitness space.

Gym Refurbishment

A brand new, connected layout for a better workout experience, with new dedicated zones for functional training, free weights, and group exercise.

A refresh of our existing equipment, along with new flooring, lighting, and vibrant branding throughout.

We've also given the Reception Area a full transformation to improve customer flow and create a more social environment. A redesigned concierge station for a smoother check-in process. The creation of a fantastic new pool viewing and social space - the perfect spot to relax or grab a coffee. This space is also fitted with a camera relay system so parents can comfortably watch their children during swimming lessons.
